From Politics is the Mind-Killer:
Or how about Marxism at least? Exact same dynamic as the one you speak of (the claim that they speak for a silent oppressed majority that's certain to win out in the end), but far less likely to explode in your face on this blog.
I recall one occasion where I was tempted to post about a conversation I had with one of the Ocupy Wallstreet crowd, but with all of the factual statements stripped away and only the logical structure of the conversation left (the point being to illustrate an observation that I made about dialogues between people with incompatible worldviews, and not about the Occupy Movement itself), but I ultimately abandoned the post half written as too unwieldy.
